We have one President at a time

[Brovane]

Why is Biden letting Trump basically act like he is already President? Talk about a lame duck. Trump is already negotiating with world leaders.
Should Biden be doing more during this transition period?

Who cares? I’d rather have Trump do everything he can right now while we have some one who is dedicated to upholding the constitution and who could potentially check trump or expose him.

I mean, what exactly is Biden supposed to do here?

Get into a pissing match with a guy that's going to get sworn in on 1/20 no matter what, who also happens to love pissing matches?

We already know the emperor has no clothes, and all these things we thought were hard rules with real big boy consequences are actually just gentlemen's agreements that fall apart as soon as an asshole and partisanship get involved.

This is less on Biden than it is the quite aged D leadership who need to be shuffled aside in favor of people with some energy.

"We have one President at a time"
And then, we have Trump, who while not in office got the border bill killed. The statement is predicated on people acting honorably, a noted weak point of the incoming fascist Trump and his acolytes.

When it comes to world affairs, Trump is President in all but name.
And we're in the unique position of this not being his first time. So he is already established, so to speak.

As for putting up a fight, that's simply not who old sleepy Joe is. He's not a fighter. If he was, Trump would have been in a prison and not on the campaign trail.

We told Biden he is unfit to govern. Who wants such a worthless person to govern. He got the message. He’ll save his son and ride off into the sunset and let Americans enjoy their new President.

I have no hope for the younger DNC leadership either after seeing Jeffries appearing with Cheney after blowing the election. My last hope for the party was the left-leaning Millennial voters dragging Biden kicking and screaming into passing a few decent things like the $2000 out of pocket cap on Medicare prescription drugs to win this election and run out the clock on Trump and they didn't even fucking run on it when they should have been screaming about it from megaphones the entire year. They had a genuinely popular left policy they implemented and could have been shouting from the rooftops about and decided durr lets campaign with Liz Cheney who everyone fucking hates instead, look how Republican we can be.
